Description
This is a new program in 2016 and has been designed to provide school leaders and those who aspire to leadership with some insight into, and knowledge of, the financial management of the school. In 2015 AITSL prepared a report, putting forward five key recommendations to improve the preparation of future school leaders. One was ensuring that aspirants receive the right sort of training at the right time.
“We know that it’s much better if people get some of that generic leadership training,” Evans says, “and then more of the specific training to do with how you might read a budget, or what are some of the important compliance issues, either right before they’re ready to take up the job or in the early weeks of their job.”
